Intro

Gm--Eb--

Verse

--NOTE! For this part, listen very closely to Anthony's lines, not that of the back-up's

(those lines in parentheses) since that may confuse you...--

Oh, start saving green and before breathing

(I have your voice on tape in a southern accent screaming at me)

I was only one and we weren't prepared for one before dreaming

(I have your voice on tape in a southern accent screaming at me)

Chorus

Know things look lovely to you

Holding back, now and forever

 Sweetheart, things look lovely

Hoping for midnight and I deny

You were walking so peculiar like (Still so deadly)

 You were lost in somebody else

 You were walking so peculiar like (Still so deadly)

You were lost in somebody else

Bridge

Sweet penance for a sound

 It might explode in our hands

I'm falling in a brown pigmentation of

Where the element guards cut short, turned in, and stopped

I've been watching Rose give in and

I wish that I could taper away so

I've been watching Rose give in to it

Severing the ties between mother and son

I've been watching Rose give in to it

Severing the ties between mother and son

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Bridge 2x)

Outro

Oh, I once saw many place the end

 I promised the world and a dozen roses

Oh, I once saw many place the end

 I promised the world and a dozen roses
